Sprint and MCI have about 3 times more traffic going through their connections there than they can handle. Rumor is that Sprint will be upgrading their connection to OC3 soon, but what MCI is going to do is unknown (probably nothing). Meanwhile, things are pathetically slow if you are coming in through MCI or Sprint. There is nothing I can do about it on this end...I suggest that people complain to their service providers. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
